Once upon a time, there was a group of people who longed to be happy.
The people spent their days inside a giant room filled with shelves and boxes.
And inside that giant room there were other smaller rooms where the people worked in different ways.
One had a conveyor belt.
One had computers.
One had machines to pick up heavy things.
And one a refrigerator and lockers, plus a table and a coffee pot.
And every day, the people moved from one room to another when the giant clock told them to.
In those rooms, they worked so very hard but rarely talked to each other.
And the work was long.
And the work was tiring and lonely.
And every day was the same as the one before.
Until one day.
It wasn't.
In a world of streamlined efficiency, the employees of OMNIA (Latin for “everything”) convene in the breakroom during their shifts. Employees feel isolated and disconnected in an environment constantly extracting the most of people, until the inhumane system creates a schism, revealing a different life on the other side.
Created over three months by Professor Adrienne Mackey with a cohort of current students, OMNIA Break Room is a new work that explores a group of people reaching beyond what they know.
